Question Lost Polar Power Magnet

While riding, I popped my magnet off. I contacted the company with no real success. Has anyone had this problem? Do you know of a good substitute. I attempted to use electrical tape to hold another Magnet on and lost it in a crit last weekend. Any help is really appreciated!
Thx

The cadence or the speed magnet? I got a big rare earth magnet on EBay to replace my cadence magnet and glued it on the end of my pedal spindle. It was about one centimeter in diameter. For the speed magnet I got a rare earth magnet from EBay that was .4 centimeter in diameter and glued it on my wheels. Probably would work for cadence as well.

The cadence magnet supplied with the power output kit really sucks. Doesn't hold position well. I bought round cylindrical magnets from Home Depot and glued them to my pedal spindle end. This setups works fine and rarely comes off if you use Gorilla Glue. My magnet came off just once in the big ring / small cog combo.
